Elastomeric roof coatings have been used for many years to extend the useful life of several types of roofing substrates. The roof coatings market has seen significant growth, driven by the “cool roof” movement. This article describes the use of very hydrophobic highly branched vinyl esters for high-performance binders for elastomeric coatings.

This article introduces two methods to produce high-performance, solvent-free waterborne acrylic polyols using glycidyl neodecanoate or its acrylated adduct.

 VeoVa monomer enhances the performance of vinyl acetate- and acrylic-based latices, significantly upgrading key properties such as water and alkali resistance in both polymer systems.
